Hi coach, Can we chopping sideways, like how you do tomahawk serve, instead of brushing it downway? Thanks. Edwin

Hi Edwin,

You can do this but it becomes a bit more risky.  For more control it is easier to play with straight underspin.

If you play it well it can be a good variation especially against someone who struggles with spin.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
